RFP.039.20 - eBidding Solution

The District of North Vancouver ("District") is seeking to automate and modernize its procurement practices and processes through the deployment of a commercially available off-the-shelf Electronic Bidding (eBidding) Solution that requires minimal customization in order to meet the District's needs.

The District expects the eBidding Solution to be an end-to-end solution that will allow the District to realise efficiencies at every stage of the competitive bid process. The eBidding Solution functionality should include, but not necessarily be limited to, the following:

· Creation of a competitive bid solicitation (RFx);
· Managing the public posting phase, including issuance of the RFx, questions/answers and addenda;
· Bid/Proposal Submission & Receipt;
· Evaluation and monitoring of progress;
· Contract Award;
· Corporate Reporting that utilizes high-quality data and measurements (KPIs) about procurement activities to drive process improvement initiatives;
· Contract management (optional phase);
· Vendor performance management (optional phase); and
· A system that will allow our Business Applications and Software Development teams to build integrations between the solution and the District's enterprise applications.

The District is seeking proposals from experienced software vendors ("Proponents") who have recent and relevant experience in providing eBidding Solutions to organizations of a similar size and nature that would satisfy the District's requirements detailed herein.
